Santa's Pre-Christmas Flight Check Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the CASA Flight Operations Inspectors, and the CASA FOI arrived last week for the pre-Christmas flight check. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. He knew they would examine all his equipment and truly put Santa's flying skills to the test... The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for the sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun. "What's that for?!?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this ahead of time," as he leaned over to whisper in Santa's ear, "but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

Men have only 2 emotional states, hungry and horny.. So ladies, if you see me without an erection, make me a sandwich.

How would you feather an inoperative reindeer? I thought they had fur? the notams a good idea though not only is the aircraft experimental, but the pilot has got a major problem with currency. I wonder who does his check rides?

I have just heard CASA is implementing their new random drug and alcohol checks over the break commencing Thursday evening after sunset and I just know the Jolly Old Round One is going to get done for sure? I also am lead to believe there might be a few outstanding AD's on both the reindeers and the sleigh and some serious concerns with weight and balance issues!Hey, if he doesn't make it to your place; you can always blame it on CASA - now there's a new idea!!!

I see, well that's cleared that up then, thanks Sky Pig you are a font of knowlege! "Adult World's" got plenty of feathers and the reindeer would look good in white too! Just need to get the blood stains out of them!
